Kaspar Unterkircher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kaspar Unterkircher (born January 6, 1774 in Prad im Vintschgau , † September 14, 1836 in Trient ) was a Tyrolean Catholic theologian.

Life

Unterkircher was a son of Joseph Unterkircher (1733–1788) and his wife Maria (1732 to after 1788), née Primisser , and thus a nephew of Johann Baptist Primisser , who brought him to Innsbruck. There he completed his high school and university studies and was ordained a priest on October 6, 1799. During his studies he had been the tutor and court master of the children of the provincial governor Johann Baptist Graf von Bissingen.

After being ordained a priest, he worked for a short time in pastoral care in his home town of Prad and in 1801 became a poetics teacher at the academic grammar school in Innsbruck and, after his uncle left his teaching post in 1806, took over the professorship for Greek. After receiving his doctorate in 1807, he was also a lecturer in classical philology at the University of Innsbruck. When the grammar school was later replaced, he was given the second humanity class that he had until Prince-Bishop Luschin von Trient appointed him professor of the New Testament at his seminary.

His grave is in the cemetery in Agums near Prad.
